Tenth place: Siakam
18- 19 season, Siakam won the NBA championship with the Raptors, and played well beside Leonard, which was enough to make him the next superstar people expected. This season, the Raptors also officially took Siakam as the core, but his performance did not seem to be satisfactory.
In the playoffs, Siakam was obviously targeted because of his obvious technical defects. Especially in the series against Celtic, Siakam acted like a rookie in the face of the opponent's front line group. Therefore, although Siakam is a good team choice, he still needs a lot of training to improve himself.
Ninth place: Tatum
Tatum is a rising star in Ran Ran in the new era of NBA in Ran Ran. He has excellent physical condition and positive attitude, which is what a cornerstone player needs most. Tatum, a junior, has grown to the point where he can lead the team. He is now the absolute core player of the Celtics.
Of course, Tatum has not proved that he is a strong contender for the championship in the playoffs. Although the Celtics entered the regional finals this season, they are still not regarded as candidates for the championship. Therefore, the first thing Tatum should do is to make himself better and make the team better.
Eighth place: Embiid
Believe in the process, this is the slogan of the 76ers in recent seasons, and it is also the creed of Embiid. Embiid, as the absolute cornerstone of the 76ers, is strong enough. The team lost to the championship by only one goal last season, which is enough to show the strength of the 76ers.
In fact, Embiid has proved himself to be an excellent cornerstone player. What he needs to do is to make the team the most competitive team when the management is not so strong, just as James and Durant once did.
Seventh place: Harden
Harden is currently the best scorer in the NBA. In the past three seasons, he has become the NBA's leading scorer with an average score of more than 30 points per game, which is enough to show Harden's personal strength. However, I don't know if it's Harden's luck or attitude. His team has not been able to make a new breakthrough in the playoffs.
In the past few seasons, Harden's team has always fallen to the nearest place to success, and Harden has often played unsatisfactory in the battle of life and death, which is also an important reason why Harden is not regarded as the top cornerstone.
Sixth place: Jokic.
Jokic is the big man with the most comprehensive skills in NBA. As a player who is over 2 10CM tall, Jokic has the passing ability like a point guard, which makes Jokic an excellent cornerstone player, and the team can completely match the lineup around him.
In the past two seasons, the Nuggets' lineup with Jokic as the core has gradually matured, and it's time to harvest. Last season, the Nuggets were only one victory away from the Western Conference Finals, and even reached the Western Conference Finals this season. Not surprisingly, Jokic and Nuggets will be favorable contenders for the championship in the next few seasons.
Fifth place: Adetokunbo.
Adetokunbo is the winner of two consecutive MVP awards in NBA, and his personal strength is beyond doubt. But in Adetokunbo's body, there are still some questions that have not been proved. Can we really succeed with him as the cornerstone of team building? In the past few seasons, Bucks have built an excellent lineup around him, but they have never been able to break through the East.
Although Adetokunbo is an MVP, his technical board still has obvious weaknesses. Whether he can practice his projection ability determines whether he can really become a historical star. If he can practice projection, he will be the best cornerstone player in the NBA.
Fourth place: Durant
Durant is one of the best scorers in NBA, even in history. The most terrible thing about Durant is that he can score in any way under any defense, with almost no dead ends. It is this ability that makes Durant the most plug-and-play scorer in the NBA. At the same time, he has also become the most suitable player in the NBA as the cornerstone of team building.
In addition to the Nets, Durant has proved himself in Thunder and Warriors. In thunder, he made the team a favorite to win the championship almost every year when the team lineup was not so reasonable; In the Warriors, he proved that as long as he has good teammates, he can be invincible.
Third place: Curry
Curry is an epoch-making player. Before Curry, few teams put the task of building the cornerstone of the team on such a thin point guard who likes to shoot three points. But Curry, a genius of the stadium, proved with strength that he is one of the best cornerstones of team building in NBA.
During the 1 1 year in Curry, the Warriors have reached the NBA Finals five times and won the championship three times. In addition, Curry himself won the NBA Most Valuable Player twice and was unanimously elected in the 15- 16 season. Curry is an excellent team leader in both ability and character.
Second place: Dancsics.
Who is the most potential player in active service? There may be no result before the playoffs, but everything will be answered after the first round of the playoffs. As a young star in the NBA, Dancis, who has just entered the second season of the NBA, averaged 28.8 points, 9.4 rebounds and 8.8 assists in the 19-20 season, among which the average number of assists per game ranked third in the league.
Facing the Clippers in the playoffs, Dansis averaged 3 1 minute, 9.8 rebounds and 9.2 assists in his first playoff trip. If it hadn't been for Borgiz's injury, the lone ranger might have passed the Clippers. In the first two years of his career, Dancsics has fully proved his value. Will he be the next James, the magician or the only dancer?
First place: James
Although James is now 35 years old, when he was young, he was undoubtedly the most valuable cornerstone player in the NBA construction system. James has a comprehensive ability and a strong desire to win. He has brought two championships to the Heat and won the first championship in the team's history for the Cavaliers.
James is still the best player in the NBA, although his potential is far less than that of most young players. 19/20 season playoffs, the Lakers led by James once again reached the NBA finals after 10, only one step away from the championship, once again showing the value of James.
